What Causes Twitching Facial Muscles, Earache With Sore Throat After Quitting Smoking?
Question: I quit smoking a few days ago and I have ear pain and an earache with a sore throat and excess mucus. I quit because it was making my indigestion worse but now I feel really sick. I also have back pain and feel like I'm tensing up my facial muscles all the time
Brief Answer:
You are having withdrawal symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
You seem to having nicotine withdrawal symptoms. As your nerve endings are starting to re-grow, the feeling worse should gradually subside and your condition will improve. However, if you cannot wait till then, you can use Nicotine patch or Nicotine chewing gums.

What is an effective way to get rid of the excess post nasal drip that I'm having from it. The mucus is making me feel completely nauseaous and making me feel like I have a bunch of phlegm just hanging in the back of my throat
Brief Answer:
Antiallergics like cetirizine should be helpful.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic. Sorry for not being able to respond earlier.
Post nasal drip is due to allergic reaction and taking some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for a few days should be helpful. Also gurgle with lukewarm water. I hope that your problems would get resolved.
